CGI animated films

[Swallow Your Soul]

I didn't particularly think it was a bad movie in its own right. But what was annoying about it was that it reflected almost nothing at all about Final Fantasy...it was just an average story with amazing graphics, and they just kinda shoved the Final Fantasy title onto it...and expected it to be a hit. I'd probably have hated it (and would probably still hate it) if my expectations were high when I saw it, but everyone told me it was the worst film ever, so in the end it was better than I expected it to be...

I doubt I'd ever watch it again though...

Most anticipated CG film coming out for me is FF:AC. I'm not a big fan of CG, especially when over-used in live action films (like the new Star Wars movies...with live action films IMO the cg should integrate flawlessly, if you can clearly tell its CG then for me, the CG has failed it's task), so I probably don't know that many. I was interested in seeing the live action (with heavy cg) Devilman, but I watched the anime which I found pretty dull...gotta watch this Casshern that a mate recommended once its downloaded...

CGI can feel redundant and repetitive when used by an incompetant director but when CGI is done right it can have quite the dramatic impact. For example take a look at any of the lord of the rings films.

A good example of really bad CGI would have to be the Sound of Thunder movie. If you can track down the trailer and you'll see what I mean.
